Bar, tapas, wood-fired specialties, artisan pizzas and generous bistro cooking by the Nivelle river.
On the road to Sare, on the banks of the Nivelle, restaurant Zuzulua welcomes you to the heart of authentic Basque Country.
Combining traditional charm with a modern touch, it is a true pleasure to come here to share fine wines and tapas, savor wood-grilled meats and fish, or enjoy handcrafted pizzas. Quality ingredients that honor regional cooking and the spirit of the grill.
Meat lovers will delight in our succulent aged prime rib-eye steak! In a friendly dining room or beneath plane trees by the water, enjoy this gourmet break in complete simplicity.
Traditionally placed beside the hearth, the zuzulu was a centerpiece in the dining rooms of Basque farmhouses.
Typically seating three, the Basque zuzulu or chest-bench uniquely features a fold-down tray designed for serving warm meals close to the fire.
It is served every midday, except on Saturdays and Sundays.
For all tastes: counter tapas, wood-fired specials, and freshly baked pizzas.
